The gendarmes also sent out a reminder to all boat users about their speed limits and the need to have lights on their boat after an accident occurred in the Simpsonbay Lagoon on April 17.
A boat owner was charged with being in control of vessel that was speeding with no lights when it collided with a small dingy. One of three persons on the dingy had to be taken to the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital for injuries they sustained.
The accident prompted a control by the brigade Nautique who issued several fines to boat users mostly for excessive speed and not having the required documents to operate a boat.
Several persons using the lagoon were also summoned to court in June 2010.
In an unrelated incident on April 28 a collision between a scooter and car occurred in La Savanne. The scooter rider was taken to the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital for injuries he sustained. According to the gendarmes the rider of the scooter was riding without a helmet.
